Chapter 50: Paramount Instrument Of War
Chapter 50
"The moon child’s most divine creation."
He mumbled those words, staring intently at the intricate runes that lay before him. His pupils narrowed as he stared at the words longer.
"Moon..."
"Moon..."
Then his eyes widened, gleaming as they lightened up, and under his breath, he mumbled.
"Tsu... Tsu-Tsuki... Tsukiakari... She’s the only person I know named after the moon who has ever had a close affiliation with the ability of Divine light."
He yawned and stretched his legs forward, falling onto his back on the bed. A silent, satisfied groan escaped his lips as he closed his eyes and then opened them to look at the runes once again. He could still see the runes with his eyes closed but preferred looking at them with his eyes open.
’If Tsukiakari did indeed create the Divine Light ability, then she most likely created the Divine Shadow ability as well. Strange how there isn’t any documentation of how sorcery even came to be in the first place; the art is treated like something that has existed since the beginning of time.’
He heaved a sigh and closed his eyes once again, taking a deep breath. The wafting scent of incense instantly filled his nostrils, and before he could realize it, he dozed off, drowned in the embrace of sleep.

With a yawn, he woke up, a disdainful look on his face. He stared at the steadily ringing device he had on his wrist, its alarm echoing inside the room, and slapped it as hard as he could, cursing furiously under his breath.
